Hello! It helps our work when you tell us what you need, want and like at AbilityMaine. Please take this survey to help us create content. We will never use any information you give us for any purpose without your expressed permission. Survey results will be de-identified whenever they are shown to anyone. We ask for information to help us know where you are located. Any field may be left blank in this survey. We rely on individual contributions, sponsorships, and grants to survive. Your completion of this survey will help us show our value to those who help fund our work. Our writers and editors are compensated for their work. You can help us by visiting our sponsorship page link on the “Thank You Page” at the end of this survey. Thanks, in advance, for completing this short ten question survey. We want to do the things that serve you best. Larry, Norm, Sharon, Steve and all of us are working to serve the needs of our communities at AbilityMaine.

1. 
It helps us to know the people and places we serve. Our content can be more useful with this info. Also, many grantors want to know who we serve. Your age, gender, town, state, country will all help show our grantors what they want to know. We have three large sites here; AbilityMaine (The News and Opinion Journal), Breath and Shadow, and ROSC. We’re asking which place you visit here for our information and to help sort things out for grantors. Notice that we have not asked for your postal address. If you would like us to have that, it can be written in, later on this survey.
